<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2079768, member: 34882&quot;]I&#039;d agree with [USER=73011]@Steve66[/USER] that the peso has nice details but appears to have been cleaned at some point. Still a nice coin in my opinion as many of these U.S. pesos have suffered a similar fate or circulated quite heavily. Although originally the 1904 P pesos were minted to be sold in a special U.S. Philippine silver coins mint set at the 1904 Worlds fair. Although they only sold roughly 4000 there and through the Philippine treasury in Manilla combined. The remaining 6000+ were released into circulation. </p><p><br /></p><p>My Coins, Medals and Tokens of the Philippines reference book by Aldo. P. Basso lists a mintage number of 11,355 for the 1904 P. A number of other sources also list at least 11,000. I&#039;m not sure the exact estimate of survival rates considering a large number of them were sold in special collector sets which perhaps aided survival rates. I&#039;d imagine the collector pieces largely avoided the initial recall in 1906, however who knows how many were melted thereafter till now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
